The first Nebraska banks were created
by the territorial legislature in 1855.
They were authorized to issue bank notes as money without any
underlying assets. These "wildcat notes" circulated
freely, riding the crest of the boom years of land speculation
and investment in town sites, railroads, and industries. By 1857
the financial panic in the East had spread to Nebraska Territory.
The wildcat banks failed, making the notes worthless and destroying
public confidence in banks.
